THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

A Nungwi beachfront resort with 24-hour all-inclusive service, varied dining and a choice of suites or private-pool villas. A comfortable base for travellers who want beach time alongside a full daily resort programme.

Riu Palace Zanzibar sits on Nungwi Beach, offering a comfortable place to settle into Zanzibar’s northwest coast. The appeal is in having several ways to spend the same day: a morning by the sea, time beside a pool and an evening that moves easily from dinner to live entertainment. A 24-hour all-inclusive plan, spa and fitness programme make it particularly straightforward for travellers who like a well-equipped resort base.

Accommodation spans junior suites, larger suites and villas with private pools. Choose the room carefully: views and layouts differ, and a courtyard-view junior suite is a different proposition from a sea-facing suite or pool villa.

Promenade handles the main buffets, with Krystal, Ia and the Beef Steak House providing alternative dinner settings. Current RIU marketing also welcomes families, an important change from older adults-only descriptions. This is an appealing option when beach time, dining choice and an easy daily routine sit at the centre of the trip.
